Last quote by Riad Muasses

Riad Muasses quotes

Between Operation Cast Lead and now Operation Pillar of Defence four years have passed. The Middle East has gone through a lot of changes, both political and strategic, since the Arab Spring uprisings. Do you think the Arab Spring has had repercussions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and on Hamas in particular?feedback

Mohamed Mursi chose to stay in Tahrir Square, symbol of the Egyptian Revolution, primarily for its legitimacy. Legitimacy which will perhaps recover some presidential powers still held by the Military Council.feedback

This rivalry between Shafiq and Morsi is the other side of the battle between the military council and supporters of the old regime on the one hand, and the Islamists and supporters of the revolution on the other. But the battle won't end if one of them wins.feedback

One way or another, we have the revolution and the counter-revolution, but the fervour of those who support the revolution might diminish because of the recent mistakes made by the Muslim Brotherhood since the parliamentary elections.feedback

The other party pulling the strings is the Military Council. Personally I would say that the Military Council has manoeuvred intelligently. Firstly, with the trial that cleared many elements of the old regime, and then the dissolution of parliament on Thursday. That's a major blow for the Muslim Brotherhood, which dominated parliament.feedback

The fall of the regime will change the game in the Near East. This is mostly because Hezbollah is supported by Syria, with arms, training abroad, and diplomacy. Hezbollah will lose a very important ally when Assad goes. It's the same for Iran. For 40 years Tehran has stood by Damascus. The loss of such an important ally will also weaken the Iranian regime.feedback

I'm not jealous of my male colleagues often, but I am when it comes to how they can just shower, shave, put on a suit, and be ready to go. The few times I've gone out in public without makeup, it's made the news.

I've made mistakes. There's no question, I think we all do. Some of them I've tried to own very publicly. And in some cases there were things that I did, until someone brought it up, I said, Gosh, I didn't realize that that was a mistake. I'm sorry about that.
